Sensei’s Divining Top is Banned in Extended

September 1, 2008

Sensei’s Divining Top

Looks like Magic the Gathering’s Pro Tour Berlin will be pretty interesting.  The cheap but powerful artifact from Champions of Kamigawa will be no more in the extended format.

Counterbalance-Top decks will no longer be feasible.  This could also mean less control decks in the field.

Sensei’s Divining Top is not too powerful in my opinion.  However, I agree with the blogger of Gifts Ungiven.  He writes:

Decks that run Top benefit from using it every turn, and each activation adds time — sometimes, a lot of time — to each turn. Over the course of a match, and then over the course of an entire tournament, that’s a ton of extra time. Extra time means more matches going to time, more draws, and a general train wreck for most tournaments. [link]
